European Spotify Users Get Exclusive to The Temper Trap's New Album

Australian indie band The Temper Trap is releasing the follow up to its 2009 album Conditions in May, but fans on social music player Spotify in Europe won't have to wait that long.

The band, best known for their international hit "Sweet Disposition," will release tracks from its second album, The Temper Trap, on Spotify before anywhere else. The exclusive songs on Spotify will slowly roll out between now and the May release dates of the album, according to Spotify PR Manager Sally Whatley. This is an exclusive for Spotify users across Europe.

The team will notify interested fans when tracks are available for streaming on Spotify Facebook page.

The Temper Trap's sophomore album, featuring a 12-song set, will debut in Australia, New Zealand and Germany on May 18. The release day for the U.K. and Europe is May 21. U.S. and Canadian audiences can buy or download the CD on June 5. The full album will also be available on Spotify on May 21 in Europe.

"We’ve been busy rehearsing, and are really excited about getting on the road and premiering some new songs from the album – first at SXSW in Austin, Texas, and then on a short sold-out tour of North America later this month," stated the band on its official website.

The Temper Trap released an exclusive track, "Rabbit Hole," on YouTube on March 8. The video, which already has 174,400 views, features slow-motion water color effects that match the album's cover art. "Rabbit Hole" is available on Spotify starting Thursday in Europe.

The band's first official single off the new album will be "Need Your Love" and come out March 27. This is the first release featuring the group's new addition, Joseph Greer on keyboard and guitar.
